Casey Rivera was out driving around 8 p.m. a few miles outside of Sacramento on Thursday when he saw a family of ducks trying to cross the road. The 41-year-old then got out of the car to help the ducks.
Many area residents saw the whole thing and applauded Rivera’s work, said a 12-year-old boy who witnessed the incident. NBC.
– Everyone clapped because he did something very nice. He said he helped them over the sidewalk because they had trouble getting up.
No criminal suspicion

The man’s widow, Angel Chao, says she feels the support of everyone who brought the incident to their attention.
